My file automatically opens instead of saving when I download in Chrome

Good morning everybody, this is Kara Jones with PresenterMedia, and today we’re talking Chrome. Or more specifically, what happens when you click on a link in Chrome and it keeps opening instead of saving to your computer. What do I mean by that? In the background I have our PresenterMedia website open, don’t worry guys I tested this out this morning. If you open up a file, or rather you click on a link and then click on a file to download it, sometimes, not all the time, but sometimes, you might notice that you don’t get a cute little download option, it just opens the file in the viewer, then you open the viewer and you’re like wait a minute waaaaah! I want to save this, I want to save this whole thing, how do I save this? I don’t know how. So what is happening right now, is Chrome is using the settings that are going to allow you to preview any kind of item. So this is not just the video backs, this is not just the clip art images, this is anything really that you’re able to open from our website or even from other websites. So you just click on a link and it opens it. You can use edit and create, try to find out where you’re saving this file. If you’re like me, instead of having to go through all these steps, you’d rather just have the file download, and then you’re done. So, to get to that, all we have to do is in Chrome, we get to our settings. To get to settings go to the three little drop down and you go down to Settings, third from the bottom right there. Then click on Advanced, and downloads. You’ll notice that the downloads section atthe very top has a default location for anything you would save to, and then you have “ask for where each file saves before downloading, open certain file types before downloading. That is the option we want to go and have cleared. Click Clearand now by default when we click on something instead of it automatically opening it, it’s going to give us that beautiful little download option at the bottom. And remember you can always click the up arrow and Always open files of this type if you do just want to preview it let’s say you do watch a lot of the video backgrounds instead of downloading them. Or you can click show in folder. Show in folder is great because it can show you where everything is downloaded to, and not only that, you can be able to make sure if you did download something one, two, three times whoops! You can have access to everything that did get downloaded to that location.So this is just a great way for you as a user to be able to have more control over what it is that you’re downloading.
